- Build and maintain an experimentation roadmap, prioritizing high-impact work.
- Diagnose, optimize, and scale core marketplace operations.
- Streamline guest and host booking journeys, minimizing drop-off and post-booking friction.
- Balance supply-to-demand ratios across geographies, vehicle tiers, and booking models.
- Drive booking value through pricing, add-ons, and promo safeguard policies.
- Optimize marketplace policies, manage loss ratios, and deepen insurance/fintech integrations.
Requirements
- 6+ years in Product Management.
- At least 2–3 years in a leadership role overseeing a two-sided peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace.
- Proven track record of driving significant revenue growth through experimentation, growth loops, and micro-optimizations.
- Exceptional ability to break down complex metrics into actionable sub-components.
- Comfortable using modern AI tooling (Claude Design, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub, etc.) to prototype ideas, mock up designs, and directly submit PRs or code changes.
- Strong understanding of triggering, lifecycle messaging, and behavioral nudges.
